I started using the arduino as a hobby and it really is quite fun. I took a break for a bit and when I came back I wasnt able to upload a sketch to my UNO. I checked to see if I was using the correct port and programmer and everything seemed fine. Not exactly sure what to do so I was hoping someone could help me. Thanks in advance.

Here is the error message I receive every time I try to upload a sketch:

It's a generic communications error between the Arduino and your PC, there can be many reasons for this, going through the steps outlined in Juraj's link above may get you closer to the cause. Another thing worth trying is holding down the Arduino reset button until uploading starts then releasing it.

  • Still nothing. I tried everything except trying a new computer or arduino because I only have one of each. I'm thinking of ordering a new Arduino. Still deciding if it should be another UNO or maybe a Micro or Nano. Thank you so much for helping. – Martin Louw Dec 9 '20 at 10:28
